My 7 year old female Hermanns has been acting as though she's ready to lay eggs. This will be my 1st experience with another generation of tortoises & I've been looking on eBay for an incubator.
Am I correct in assuming that the cheapest thing available will work as long as it has an adjustable thermostat?

Hovabators work fine....They are around $50-$60 shipped to your door
Dido that,and you can get all kinds of gizmos that are cordless and monitor the temps without opening it up. Incase your one of thouse people that "gata no" about every five minutes. The room temp must always be cooler than the incubator temp. This year I put a small window AC in the room with the incubator. They also take a while to "set" to the desired temp. You have to spend some time finding the sweet spot. Its always more intence when you already have the eggs in it and your still fooling around with it! BEST OF LUCK and pay the electric bill on time! And most of all WORRY! Put CAUTION TAPE around it. VM
She laid a single egg this morning & for some bizarre reason, I felt so proud. This tortoise was less than 2" long when I got her in 2003.

Oops. Dunno what went wrong with that last post. Obviously that ain't a picture of an egg layin' Hermanns; it's a Russian coming out of hibernation.
